A father and son are facing charges after they allegedly robbed and carjacked two CSX railroad employees and a driver for PTI transportation.

According to the Vanderburgh County Sheriffs Office, Monday, just before 7 p.m., deputies went to check out a call about a holdup in progress in the 1600 block of Allens Lane.

The CSX employees and PTI driver told the deputies that they had just been robbed at gunpoint and had their company vehicle stolen.

They told deputies that they were sitting in the PTI transportation van, waiting for a train to arrive so that the CSX employees could start their shift when two men with guns came up and ordered them to get out of the vehicle.

The suspects told the victims to put their hands up and place their wallets and cell phones on top of their vehicle. They then let the victims go, but not before one of the suspects threatened them by saying, You`re lucky I`m going to let you live tonight.
